Shoplifting Charges Are Serious

What may seem like a just a minor stupid choice can turn out to ruin your ability to get a job in the future unless you hire the right law firm.

Do Not Take Shoplifting Charges Lightly

Maybe you think that the worst consequence of a guilty plea or conviction for shoplifting is the embarrassment you feel. Think again.
